Overview
Lancôme Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream Lipstick in 138 is a soft nude rose in the Ruby Cream formula's jewel-luminous finish — perhaps the most surprising and beautiful expression of the Ruby Cream's power. In a nude shade, the ruby powder cannot hide behind vivid pigmentation; it must create its effect entirely through the enhancement of a close-to-skin colour, and it does so extraordinarily. The multidimensional, faceted-light luminosity of the genuine ruby powder gives the soft nude rose a naturally radiant depth and presence that makes the lips look genuinely, effortlessly beautiful — the most flawlessly luminous version of a natural, polished lip look available in the Lancôme range.
The Ruby Cream formula uses Rosa Damascena Flower Wax and Sodium Hyaluronate for comfort and conditioning, with genuine ruby powder for jewel-luminosity. Apply over the Lancôme Absolu Rouge Lip Base with a matching warm nude liner. The full Ruby Cream collection is available within the Lancôme lip range at Pearl Chemist Group.

What Does Lancôme Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream Lipstick Do?
Lancôme Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream Lipstick in 138 delivers what appears to be a soft nude rose — and in the Ruby Cream's jewel-luminous finish, the most traditionally understated of shades becomes something genuinely extraordinary. The genuine ruby powder within the formula gives the soft nude rose a multidimensional, lit-from-within quality that transforms a close-to-skin colour from something simply polished into something that glows with a quiet gemstone beauty — the nude that catches the light in a way that makes the lips look truly, naturally beautiful rather than simply well-made-up. It is one of the most compelling arguments for the Ruby Cream formula: what it does to a shade that should have nowhere to hide.
Rosa Damascena Flower Wax and Sodium Hyaluronate condition the lips throughout wear. Whether over the Lancôme Absolu Rouge Lip Base or as the most naturally beautiful everyday expression within a considered lip collection, shade 138 shows what genuine ruby luminosity can do for the most naturally flattering of all lip colours.
How to Apply Lancôme Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream Lipstick
- Prep the lips. Apply the Lancôme Absolu Rouge Lip Base and allow to settle for 30 to 60 seconds. The ruby powder luminosity of the formula is best expressed on a smooth, conditioned surface.
- Define the lip line. Apply a matching warm rose lip liner around the outer lip line to define the shape and maximise longevity.
- Apply from the centre outward. Press the bullet flat at the Cupid's bow and draw outward to the corners on the upper lip. Repeat on the lower lip. The Ruby Cream applies with the same comfortable stroke as the standard Absolu Rouge Cream.
- Fill in completely. Use the tip of the bullet to complete all areas with full, even coverage. The ruby luminosity requires complete coverage across the full lip surface to achieve its optimal faceted-light effect.
- Blot and reapply for extended wear. A light blot followed by a second coat extends longevity whilst preserving the formula's exceptional luminosity. Unlike matte formulas, the Ruby Cream can be blotted and reapplied freely.
- Allow the luminosity to express itself. The ruby powder effect is most visible in direct light — step into the light to appreciate the full gemstone-quality radiance of the formula.
The Ruby Cream formula applies with the comfort and ease of the standard Absolu Rouge Cream — no special preparation is required beyond the Lip Base. The distinguishing factor is in the extraordinary luminosity of the result, not in any additional demands on the application technique.
Who Is Lancôme Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream Lipstick in 138 For?
- Lip concern: A soft nude rose with the Ruby Cream's extraordinary ruby powder jewel-luminosity — for those who want the most naturally beautiful and quietly luminous expression of a nude rose.
- Skin tone: Most broadly flattering across fair to medium complexions with warm or neutral undertones. The ruby luminosity gives the nude rose a naturally radiant quality that makes it particularly flattering on a very wide range of complexions.
- Finish preference: Ruby-luminous cream — a naturally radiant, jewel-quality luminosity that elevates a nude shade far beyond what any standard cream or satin formula achieves.
- Occasion: The most versatile Ruby Cream shade — appropriate for every occasion, from everyday professional wear to the most glamorous special occasions where a naturally luminous nude is the intended expression.
What Shades Are Available?
Lancôme Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream Lipstick is available in a range of shades spanning warm roses, nudes, corals, pinks, vivid reds, and deeper tones, all in the Ruby Cream formula's distinctive jewel-luminous finish.

FAQs
What is the most luminous nude rose lipstick available in the UK?
Lancôme Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream 138 delivers a soft nude rose with the extraordinary jewel-luminous finish of the Ruby Cream formula — the most naturally beautiful and quietly radiant expression of a nude rose available in the Lancôme range. The genuine ruby powder gives the close-to-skin colour a multidimensional, faceted-light luminosity that makes the lips glow with a natural, gemstone-quality radiance rather than simply looking polished.
How does the ruby powder affect a nude shade?
In a nude shade, the ruby powder must create its effect entirely without the support of vivid pigmentation — it enhances the close-to-skin colour with a multidimensional, lit-from-within luminosity that gives the nude rose an extraordinary natural radiance. The effect is subtle but genuinely beautiful: the lips look naturally perfect in a way that no standard satin or cream formula can replicate. The ruby luminosity is arguably most impressive in a nude shade where the effect is entirely the formula's own contribution rather than the colour's.
What is the best long-lasting luminous nude lipstick that does not dry out lips?
Lancôme Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream is formulated with Rosa Damascena Flower Wax and Sodium Hyaluronate to condition the lips throughout wear. For a nude shade like 138, the conditioning quality of the formula is particularly important — any dryness or unevenness is more visible in a close-to-skin colour. Apply over the Lancôme Absolu Rouge Lip Base with a matching warm nude liner and blot before a second coat for the most comfortable, even, and brilliantly luminous result.
Is the Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream suitable for dry or mature lips?
The Rosa Damascena Flower Wax and Sodium Hyaluronate formula makes the Ruby Cream genuinely comfortable for dry or mature lips. For a nude shade on mature lips, the ruby powder luminosity is especially beneficial — the multidimensional light-catching quality gives a naturally plumping, radiant optical effect that enhances the lip area beautifully in a way that a flat or matte nude cannot. The Absolu Rouge Lip Base beforehand gives the most even and flattering result.
Is Lancôme makeup cruelty-free and vegan?
Lancôme is part of the L'Oréal Group and is not certified cruelty-free by major organisations including Leaping Bunny and PETA. Lancôme Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream Lipstick contains Beeswax and likely Carmine in its formulation. For the most current information, check directly with Lancôme or the brand's official UK website before purchasing.
Is Lancôme Absolu Rouge Ruby Cream Lipstick a good gift?
A naturally luminous nude rose like shade 138 makes one of the most broadly appropriate and genuinely luxurious gift choices in the Ruby Cream collection — a shade of universal flattering appeal elevated to gemstone-quality beauty by the ruby powder formula. Appropriate for virtually any recipient who wears lipstick. Available online from Pearl Chemist Group.
